I am going to send Sierra and Heather a message to see if they wouldn&#39;t mind my sharing their blog on my site (I&#39;d like to mention them and post a link).Patricia Ellis Herr, Alexandra Herr, and Sage Herrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077445974909636411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-65296273110170319432013-10-16T16:01:53.836-04:002013-10-16T16:01:53.836-04:00Trish - you probably follow Sierra and Heather&#39...Trish - you probably follow Sierra and Heather&#39;s blog but if you didn&#39;t see this review of the ULA backpack - it&#39;s a good one:<br />http://sierrapct.blogspot.com/2013/05/gear-review-packs-tents-and-more.html<br /><br />I know the feeling of carrying food/gear for many - my kids aren&#39;t quite able to carry much at all. <br /><br />Looking forward to following your progress. You might check out Henry Shires tarp tents too - we love them - have 2, a 2 person we used on the AT and 3 person now - I&#39;d love the 4 person. <br /><br />ChristineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941792571264322353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-52257080620361204152013-10-16T15:59:14.809-04:002013-10-16T15:59:14.809-04:00Trish - you probably already read Sierra and Heath...Trish - you probably already read Sierra and Heather&#39;s blog but I enjoyed their review of the ULA backpacks http://sierrapct.blogspot.com/2013/05/gear-review-packs-tents-and-more.html<br /><br />Not sure where you stand with packs. I know the feeling of packing for many - Claire and Sadie can hardly carry anything. <br /><br />Just wanted to pass along her thoughts on their packs. <br /><br />Looking forward to following your progress - although we haven&#39;t hiked the JMT - we spent some time hiking in that area this summer and is was spectacular!<br /><br />ChristineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941792571264322353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-16597717728355827402013-10-10T10:15:30.612-04:002013-10-10T10:15:30.612-04:00Jake, excellent, many thanks.

I hope the fundraising goes well!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.com
